These are the best cranks in my opinion, you can see them all here: bit.ly/47RZOJW
I absolutely love this video. As a an older BMX rider even though I am not very good, I want to make sure I put high quality parts on my bike as I am willing to put money into it. Please keep making these videos.
Same with me I’m 35 and rode a lot until 19 then stoped was never the best but got back into it and now that I’m a grown man I can buy things I need and I feel the same way
Same here I’ rode when I was 17 18 19 quit when I was 20 but never had the best of bikes or bike parts was buying trash parts nobody wanted but I didn’t know at the time now I’m older and can buy what I like it’s different and im back at it and it’s good exercise it seem like all us 30 and older making a come back for Bmx
Older rider here got back into BMX have two GT performers so far feels good that I’m older and can afford all theses goodies lol
I run the Primo Stevie Churchill cranks, they are very high quality, very lite and super strong, I'm 210lbs & these cranks have a nice platform to land on. My other bike is a Sunday Soundwave with Odyssey Thunderbolt cranks they are just slightly less beefier than the Churchill cranks but are also very nice. I'd recommend both cranks to anyone.
When i was choosing cranks... my options were; odyssey thunderbolt, eclat tibia and primo superbite.
I wonder why tibia and superbite aren't included?
Are the Fit Blunt cranks spline drive? Do you still recommend them? Great video!
BSD Substance. Mine are still going despite six years of pedalgrinds. They have survived four frames.
hey man thanks for posting the video I just ordered some of them Stevie Churchhill Kranks on Dan’s comp their website it’s kind of hard to navigate right now no big deal but I’m stoked to be running these going forward coming off of some odyssey cranks that broke by the spindle no big deal the color way is kind of unique and I am keeping an open mind about your review of them and what was the right fit for me long-term …. thank you thank you thank you they should combo very nicely with the cinema parts that I run mostly.
Nice video btw. 👍🏻
But any suggestions about chains? Some of the half links are pretty heavy and now I think i should try classic link chains and save some weight.
What do you suggest for a rider that is 95kg that rides a kink drifter 2023 model? I'm getting back into riding but decided to go with 26" as I just want to cruise around mostly. I heard the cranks that come with the kink drifter are prone to fail. Price isn't an issue, just want durability, light and a bonus in chrome would be awesome (but durability is most important). Thanks mate,
eclat spire in 160, I prefer 2 piece for some weird reason.
Using the square drive connector from the socket wrench to tighten the cranks would be dope
Hello from Québec and thanks, great review. I've been looking at the BSD SUBSTANCE CRANKS XL 24MM W/ BOTTOM BRACKET, what do you think ?
i got a pair of the eclat onyx cranks for free off an old wtp envy complete, never knew how good they where. while they are lighter than the current version thats because thewy only run spline drive sprockets witch are a pain to find in the uk
Great video as always. I’m looking for a new crank at the mo, but can’t decide between the Thunderbolt and the Eclat Spire. 🤷🏻♂
Are the eclat tibia v2 cranks good?
And the Bsd substance xl v2?:v
I like em. Also what was available at the local shop when I broke my old cranks in the 170 length
I found some odyssey calibur v2 that come wiht the pedalier (crankset)
Hey Douglas..good to finally be able to say hey, it's 0245. I just built a little bike off of aluminum "horizon" since I'm such a short little $#@!. I used the shadows..even with little feet no problems hang over. And those stolen are some ugly heavy fargain cranks. I put back in my 80's 105's from my master. Still awesome after 30 years. Have a good night. I'm going riding downtown. Peace you all!
Random question about cranks: Is there a way to avoid getting greace on my pants when I pedal my pants sometimes end up with greace.. just got my first bmx bike
Clean your chain and dont put too much chain lube
for who dont know most sprockets come with 2 adapters for 19 or 22mm spindles. the hole in the sprocket without any adapter will fit 24mm spindles. so most likely no u wont have to get a new sprocket. unless you have some special profile spline drive or odyssey hex drive an then upgrade
Fiend segment cranks are awesome in quality and aesthetics.
i just got a set of Stolen Mob v4 (8 point instead of spline) for $60 to replace the original 1 piece cranks on my 2001 Haro. i like the look of them, they seem to be good quality. i dont have much riding on them yet. but for $60, im happy with them so far.
ANIMAL AKIMBO #1
Agreed
Overjoyed I've just ordered myself some Caliburs
Colony cranks been solid for me never an issue 165mm 👌🏻👌🏻
Are u still riding them and how long do you have them for?
@@WinterSoldier01 these are a little over 2 years old, but they would last forever really the short length is less flex and stress plus 22mil spindle, bomb proof
Okay thx, i was thinking about buying them@@woodward4130
@@woodward4130 how are they now ? still good ? i just ordered mine in 175mm
Dougster, buy some high tops, they have the old etnies in lees summit at Walmart, some dudecsignatures , still look great quality comparing to
Eclat cranks🔥
Hi, I just ordered a 175mm cranks on a 20.5” frame, is that bad or it’s okay?
i would go shorter, but what really matters is the chainstay length, if you arent running pegs then you are set up for life
I like how he always has the dog in the back just chilling 😎
Just learned something! Nice bro.
No profiles?
Dang it , doygs well being keeping me here!!! Just get the high tops Doug. Loved the 136$ cranks at Dan's Comp. Those where sweet. Don't spend more than that. Itsxs waste ya'll .
So I'm getting out there. Have a great night brothers. Those primos look awsome
You forgot to mention the Odyssey calibers come with a bottom bracket. At least mine did
Remember cranks and sprocket were the ho we used to do grinds in 90's old dudes out there.
The point of being able to use the square piece on the ratchet is just in case you don't have the bit on hand, or lose it, or whatever.
And you'll never ever strip em
Your Colony Venator cons are irrelevant. Pedal bosses... you cant see them they are on the back. As is the Colony logo, while it is nasty looking its also on the backside of the arm so will not rub off.
Light, strong, actually ankle friendly, great straight forward design.
do you have them ? if you do how are they , still good ?
@@nasBga Good in theory... but they came bent from the package, so got rid of them n bought ODSY
@@SKIDSnSTUFF shit man i just ordered them lol i hope ididnt make a mistake
@nasBga you'll be alright, I always make a problem where there isn't one.
I’ve seen so many broken thunderbolt cranks. Those should be on the worst crank list. Fit cranks are amazing, same with the akimbo. I rode some stolen talon cranks for about a year and surprisingly never had an issue. I know a lot of people who ride calibers and like them a lot.
Isso ai ,com o tempo da folga na estria😅😅😅
😇 night all. You can catch be at Barney alis if your in kc if you want to hit the hand rails in 45. 0345. 🤙
Whoa...Dan's comp Rocks. I saved over 300 bucks on my bike.
Those are sweet!!!!
Animal and primo, all day everyday. Profile and madera parts are hot garbage. Snapped 2 pairs of cranks blew flanges off a profile mimi front hub and blew apart 3 drivers in a madera hub. Ive had rant parts last me much longer. i fully agree with you
Vans or new chucks.
“Top 12 cranks”? This was not a top 12! I get you had an issue with your profile crank but your profile crank has a lifetime warranty! The profile crank is definitely one of the best cranks on the market and has been one of if not the best for tears. Most top cranks out today are based on the profile spindle design so for this reason I’m actually amazed you didn’t include the profile cranks but yet included a RANT crank? How is a RANT crank top 12? I would have put the Sunday crank in before that if it was in there based on price.
I think he put the rant cranks because they have a similar construction to profile at half the price
Airwaves in skate or bmx shop
I would like to know the difference between left hand and right hand cranks. Logically can’t you just install them on the other side? If you flip the paws in your driver and install your cranks backwards, in theory they should operate exactly the same. Technically it would the completely same drive train.
Some context, i wanted chrome thunderbolts. I found some but they are Lhd. Rhd vs Lhd is not relevant to me as i don’t really grind. I suppose i could just suck it and flip the paws in profile hub. Just wanted some clarification
I think your pedals would keep coming unthreaded if you just flipped your cranks
@@wckdrage8244 hmmmm interesting theory
Pedals and arms on one side are reverse thread so when u Pedal forward they both are turning in a direction that is tightening them if you swap arms they both are trying to unscrew if pedals become loose
@@gheewillickers i get the concept. It’s a good theory. But without tangible evidence it can’t be credited. Pedal spindles are fixed in place and the pedal body revolves on a bearing. The pedal ejecting from the crank arm would be the phenomena. But hey anything is possible
@seanlowkey9388 true I've never really had pedals loosen on me but I've never ran flopped crank arms luckily I'm regular footed so I grind left side anyways rhd will work for me unless I just start doing everything oppo which would be cooler 😎
That dogs makin me laugh
30 ar Walmart for airwalks or the etnies.
Don't want ankle bit dougster...old half Caballero high tops, vans.. gotta ride. Or literally will die.
Yeah they are all the most dependable and
He talkin bout ,,overhang" idk on normal Tailwhips i catch Cranks (i ride big dirtjumps dont judge) oppo whips different thing but most newschool/midschool riders dont care about it and even if your learning tailwhips its most likely that you catch cranks so overhang isn't a big minus for Cranks tbh
Likecsaid, off work so ride at night. Ya'll ..buy an old set of flight 401 Shimano 105's. Killer.
Lol I didn’t even realize that my thunderbolt cranks are left hand drive 😮
They also have airways, us old guys will remember when u could only getvthe etnies and
No one has eclat onyx besides circuit
Best cranks you can get.
There is simply no easier crank to install than Thunderbolts. All 48 spliners are an ass pain.
No way. Primo powerbite/hollow bite beat them and that dumb spacer washer shim shit by miiiiiles and waaaay stronger
Profile cranks are not available anywhere, chrome Profile cranks are extinct, the only profiles you can find are $500 … F profiles
7:18 derp moment i assume?
Anyhoo, Walmart high tops dougster. Etnies sig. On dans fir like 70..30bucks!. Later
